I have been trying to decide what to do with this blog.  When I originally created this blog, I wanted to talk about things that interest me.  I wanted to tell the world about my faith in God and the payment his son has done for me with his death on the cross.  I wanted to tell about photography, technology, and ham radio.  These are just a few of my hobbies.  What it has become is a place for me to vent when I am having a bad day.  Instead of staying in God’s word and being transformed by the renewing of my mind as spoken in Romans 12:2.  Instead of being a light in the world as I originally had intended, I have used this blog to gripe, moan, and complain about everything from politics to neighbors.

Anytime a person only posts when they have had a bad day, it gives the impression to the rest of the world that maybe this person is a grouch and hardly worth listening to.  Secondly when I use this medium to complain and post when I am in a bad mood, then I am motivated by anger.  Being motivated by anger makes it sound as though I am a raving lunatic.  I have read a few of my posts later when I was more calm and found myself laughing.  It is hard to be rational when you are angry.  I apologize if any of my posts have been offensive.

I have always used writing as therapy and a way to vent.  When I am stressed out, I often write my feelings down like I am talking to the person.  It always makes me feel better.  Writing has always been my favorite way to communicate because I can say what I want without interruption.  I have been doing this blog for more than four years though my posts only go back as far as late 2006 because I had a system crash and lost my posts.

Surprising this blog does get a lot a views though not many people post.  I have a program that summarized the traffic to this site including referring URL’s, referring domains, search terms, and all sorts or statistical data.  Most of my views seem to come from Google.com searches while a sizable number come from Flickr.com. At this point I am undecided on the direction I will take with this blog.  At times I want to wipe it clean and start over.  At other times, I just want to make it a static page with links.  The one thing that I do not want is to be offensive with my ranting when I am in a grouchy mood.

I have some very strong opinions about things and like to post about them when stories are over covered in the media.  At the same time, I find myself becoming a little over zealous and too staunch to a point where they can sound offensive.

I do not want to be so politically correct that I cannot speak my mind either.  I do not have time to make any drastic changes at the moment but I will think about my options and make up my mind soon.
